Last week I finally enrolled in the Skillshare class I’d been meaning to take, Simple Character Animation by Fraser Davidson. My coworker and friend B and I have been (trying to) do some silly animations as a side project (ironically/not ironically named Fear of Moving On), where I do the illustrations and he animates them in After Effects, but I had literally no knowledge of how to do anything in After Effects. So this was a nice way to start learning and I got to make this lil’ guy:
This winter has been dragging on, but Dave and I have been taking advantage of the weekend winter sun and going on adventures anyway. One of my favourite things to do is to go down to the lake and feed the ducks all our freezer bread.
One of the things I want to work on this year is to be more positive.
I’m going to try to stop thinking negative thoughts about myself and others. Once in a while I get into a crummy mood, and I need a reminder to shake myself out of the Depression Spiral (haha) I’ve thrown myself into.
Note to self: Don’t let negative thoughts escalate!
I know it’s kind of morbid, but I think about death quite a lot. But it reminds me that life is short and it’s better to spend that time being happy. I watched a Youtube video on mindfulness, where the dude points out that though we spend so much time worrying about the future or dwelling on the past, the only moment that we actually live in is now. Remembering that we never know when our time will end reminds me to be more aware and present in the present.
